A ridiculous class ... but also very realistic.

The overall class rating (according to 247 Composite) would be 322.85, which would undoubtedly be the #1 class in 2021. It would also be Ohio State's best class ever (beating the class of 2018, which had a total of 317.06 points), and would rival Florida's 2010 class (324.62 points) as the best in CFB history.

The above class (as currently ranked) would have four 5-stars, eighteen 4-stars, and two 3-stars, with 16 of the recruits being in the top 106 overall prospects. The average ranking per recruit would be 95.36, definitely an Ohio State record (beating the class of 2017 - Chase Young, Jeff Okudah, J.K. Dobbins, Wyatt Davis, et al - which had an average of 94.59), and to the best of my knowledge a CFB record (by a pretty wide margin, by the way).

Of the 14 uncommitted prospects, 11 have at least one crystal ball in favor of Ohio State, and the other 3 have no crystal balls whatsoever.

So ridiculous and realistic ... and still with room for a couple of reaches and late bloomers.

Michigan has had three composite top 100 players in the last three classes combined (0 in ‘20, 3 in ‘19, 0 in ‘18).

No Stellato? He trending away or just think we don't have space?

Birm has said they will take four in the class if those two are the additions, but only three otherwise.

A likely scenario is that between Stellato and Egbuka, one goes to Ohio State and the other goes to Clemson.

However, it is still within the realm of possibility that they both go to Ohio State - that’s just the more difficult outcome to pull off.

It would be quite the amazing recruiting feat by Hartline, who has shown that he can do such things.

Neither really, Stellato could easily be on there. I just feel like after last year’s haul, and with Ballard and Harrison already on board, getting one is more likely than both.

FWIW, Egbuka was formerly listed as an ATH, and Duane Long actually likes him better at CB than WR.

Just mentioning it in the ‘21 recruiting thread because it impacts available spots and I absolutely won’t get into specific names because I think that’s dead wrong but just a general thought I expect to see a few Buckeyes transfer. I have no intel but year 2 under a new coach, spring being a chance to start informal depth charts etc and it just feels like we will see this soon. Just a hunch. I started considering it when we saw the flurry of position changes. Day has his own philosophy and there is still a ton of Urban recruits on this squad.
